Non-Renewable Resources

SASB’s provisions standards for the non-renewable resources sector are developed via a multi-stakeholder process consisting of research supported by Bloomberg technology, data and analytical tools; balanced, multi-stakeholder industry working groups; and a public comment period; and review by an independent Standards Council composed of experts in standards development, securities law, environmental law, metrics and accounting. As SASB is committed to a transparent and open standards development process, this page contains documentation of the standards development process for this sector.

Non-Renewable Resources Standards

The following document contains the Non-Renewable Resources sector’s provisional standards produced via the standards development process.

Non-Renewable Resources Industry Briefs

SASB’s Industry Briefs provide an industry-specific context for the organization’s accounting standards. The briefs describe each sustainability topic and outline the evidence of materiality and the link to corporate valuation. In addition, the briefs describe the regulatory trends that are likely to impact the link between sustainability and financial performance.

Example of Integrated Disclosure in Form 10-K

The following is a mock excerpt from a Form 10-K for a Oil & Gas – Exploration & Production company, “Harris Robinson Energy, Inc.”, that incorporates disclosure to the SASB Standard for Oil & Gas – Exploration & Production into its Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A). This document serves as an example of one type of disclosure SASB envisions for its standards; it is not intended to provide a template for companies to follow. This is a working document on which SASB is actively soliciting feedback on the content, scope, and presentation format of disclosure to SASB Standards.
